Era-Pac
Partially Pregelatinized Chemically Modified Starch (USP44/NF39)
Era-Pac is a partially pregelatinized starch USP44/NF39. It has been mechanically processed to rupture part of the granules in the presence of water and subsequently dried.
Era-Pac is a specially designed tablet filler for wet granulation techniques. It is not just a plain filler, it also serves as a tablet binder. It is sufficiently used as the tablet filler, tablet binder is not required. When water is added to the blend, it will exert the binding power. The tablets obtained possess good hardness and low friability.
